The Apple iPhone 3G S will be capable of games graphics “beyond” the Sony PSP Go, according to Michael Schade, head of mobile game developer Fishlabs.
Schade, speaking to Pocket Gamer, said that the Apple iPhone 3G S’s improved processing speed and adoption of “Open GL ES 2.0 support will push the iPhone beyond the PSP”.
Schade did warn that many cheaper Apple iPhone 3G S games wouldn’t see the benefit of the new Sony PSP Go-beating visuals, though: “As graphic assets need to be designed from scratch to benefit from 2.0 shaders, it will be very hard to monetize the extra effort in the early days.” So don’t expect to see improved visuals on “$0.99 apps”.
Fishlabs is known for the 3D visuals of its Apple iPhone games already, including Galaxy On Fire, Burning Tyres and Toy Tanks 3D. It is already at work on games with “extra high graphics settings to run on iPod Touch 2 and iPhone 3G S.” No word yet on Apple iPhone 3G S exclusive games yet, though.

Believe it when I see it…
I wonder if I bought a new iPhone 3Gs and it turn out to be untrue, if I coulf sue Michael Schade for making misleading or untrue comments in the press..
or perhaps even sue Electric Pig for not responsibly checking it’s facts before reporting stories.
I believe Electric Pig was reporting on the “comments” made by Michael Schade. Therefore there are no facts to check, what he said was his opinion and has been reported as such.
Comparisons of two different pieces of hardware will always be subjective, but in this case all that is being reported is someone’s opinion.
You should try not to take slightly Sony negative articles to heart. And as someone recently commented on, you should also remove that tin hat of yours!
MM, I’d check yourself on that one. Right now, you appear to be slandering my reputation as a journalist. So if anyone’s going to get sued…
I merely reported the opinion of Michael Schade, boss of Fishlabs. He merely stated his opinion re: the iPhone versus the PSP, given the 3G S’s support for Open GL ES 2.0.
Now, he clearly may have an interest, as he’s a developer who works on iPhone games, in promoting iPhone games over PSP games. But equally, his company has a high amount of technical expertise regarding 3D graphics programming on the iPhone.
Either way, you post every time you perceive Sony to be slighted on this site. Are you paid by Sony to do that? Or are you a fanboy?
Wow the article writer actualy responded, you must suck
